Uwe Schindler reopened LUCENE-3390:
-----------------------------------
When discussing about the forward port with Mike McCandless on IRC, we thought
the double inversion is useless (it was in Doron's patch, because he wanted to
use DocIdSetIterator effectively).
We changed the name to FieldCache.getDocsWithField().
Patch is easy.
> Incorrect sort by Numeric values for documents missing the sorting field

> While sorting results over a numeric field, documents which do not contain a
> value for the sorting field seem to get 0 (ZERO) value in the sort. (Tested
> against Double, Float, Int & Long numeric fields ascending and descending
> order).
> This behavior is unexpected, as zero is "comparable" to the rest of the
> values. A better solution would either be allowing the user to define such a
> "non-value" default, or always bring those document results as the last ones.
> Example scenario:
> Adding 3 documents, 1st with value 3.5d, 2nd with -10d, and 3rd without any
> value.
> Searching with MatchAllDocsQuery, with sort over that field in descending
> order yields the docid results of 0, 2, 1.
> Asking for the top 2 documents brings the document without any value as the
> 2nd result - which seems as a bug?
